terri,

That is amazing!!! When is your apt with your neuro guy? I'll bet he falls out of his chair when you walk for him!! That would be something to get on tape so you have his reaction to movitate you later when and if you get discouraged.

Let us know how many more you have done....You know the March of dimes is looking for a few good walkers to participate in their walk-a-thon...haha

xxoo keep up the amazing progress!!!

Thanks all, I have not taken more than 4 steps at one time but I can now make it all the way across the grab bar matt. 4 steps, stop for a second (so I don't fall down :) ) then off again! You should see my arms fly when I take the steps without holding on, I look like I am getting ready for take off. LOL :)

I went in for my fill on Tuesday this week and showed everyone there. My nurse started crying. My Dr. gave me a big hug. I had a pretty big crowd because I am the first bandster there and everyone wants to watch Dr. B do the fill. So there were plenty of congratulations going on.

I don't have a appt. with my Neuro yet because I don't have to see him but once a year. Maybe I will go see him just to show off!

Thank you all for your support! I don't think I could do this band thing with out you all. OK maybe I could but you make it easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((((((HUGS))))))))) to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
